Not sure if you knew this, but the composer John Barnes Chance died shortly before this piece was published. He was accidently electrocuted at his house. This piece is haunting enough already, and then to find that out...creepy. This band took it way too fast though. 6:30 minutes, should be more like 9:30 minutes : ) But I guess to get the intonation right some groups have to play it at a much faster tempo. It just kinda ruins the effectiveness of the piece in my opinion.

I remember this song from last year... Had to possiblyh be my bestyear in band... This song has so much sentimental value to me, with all that I went through my freshman year, and losing the ones I lost it still waters me up to this day. I remember how much Mac band put into this and when we first got it how we were like wth is this but then it grew and I have so much love and respect for this song... really. R.I.P Lauri!

sorry ran out of space...anyways the high, really intense parts played by this band are pretty nice. I like our bands sound better though. Being a small school we have a smaller band size. All the players OWN and our piccolo player just tears this piece up and remakes it. He made it all worth while for me...and our Basoon owns too.
